I’ve Moved!
November 20, 2008
So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:
In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here
.
That said, this is not the end of Time Immortal. My wife Grace has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.
Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.
Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.
Residential schools were often horrible…

…but in regard to the financial settlements that have been paid out in the wake of the many, many court cases filed over the issue, one can’t help but wonder if the cure was, in some cases, as bad as the disease.
I only remark on this because it seems that the First Nations in the Yukon are going to begin a survey in an attempt to count deaths related to the arrival of settlement monies from residential school claims. Evidently, since the dollars began flowing in, “Aboriginal leaders have noticed a higher than usual number of funerals in communities across the territory in recent months, even prompting one chief to organize a territory-wide prayer circle next week.
No one can say for sure how many of those deaths are attributable to the thousands of dollars in common experience payments going to former students and the social problems, from alcohol and drug abuse to suicide, that can arise from such payments, combined with their recollections of the residential school experience.”
Very troubling.
Update: Welcome, WebElf readers!
There are some evil people out there

We have come to the point where a person looking for information about suicide and counselling is more likely to find a website encouraging suicide. It is alarming, is it not, O Reader, how quickly “post-Christian” has translated into “anti-human.”
Woman regrets abortion, kills herself
February 22, 2008
I have actually had pro-choice (read: pro-abortion) advocates say, to my face, that “post abortion syndrome” is a lie, that it doesn’t exist..
Maybe it is. Then again:
A talented artist hanged herself because she was overcome with grief after aborting her twins, an inquest heard yesterday.
Emma Beck, 30, left a note saying: “Living is hell for me. I should never have had an abortion.
“I see now I would have been a good mum. I told everyone I didn’t want to do it, even at the hospital.”
…
In February [of 2007], the night before her 31st birthday, Miss Beck hanged herself at her home in Helston.
She had recently split up with her boyfriend, identified only as Ben, who was said to have “reacted badly” to her pregnancy.
The guy in this picture is a typical secular post-modern sort: another selfish prat who loved the girl for the sex, but who “reacted badly” when her body did something that it was designed to do as a result of sexual intercourse.
It has already become clear that abortion hurts women to a larger extent than it could ever benefit them. This young woman’s suicide is just one more entry in an already well-documented chronicle of the link between abortion and depression or suicide.
